Emilie Wapnick
“We all need a sense of meaning in our lives. The feeling that we're doing good in the world--that we're making a difference in some way--is essential.

Not everything we do needs to evoke a deep sense of meaning. That would be exhausting!

Multipotentialites are usually involved in a number of different projects. Some of these are naturally more meaningful than others (just as some are more profitable than others).

What matters isn't that everything we do is deeply meaningful, but that we have enough overall meaning to make us feel good about how we're spending our time on this earth.”
Emilie Wapnick

“The reality is that our bodies are dynamic, evolving, and precious just as they are right now! As my oldest, dearest seventy-eight-year-old client, Dot, once said to me, "Wendy, if I realized at fifty how much worse my body would be at seventy, I'd have stopped complaining so much and shown my body off a lot more. And had lots more sex.”
Wendy Mak, The Capsule Wardrobe: 1,000 Outfits from 30 Pieces

Carrie Fisher
“If my life wasn't funny it would just be true, and that is unacceptable.”
Carrie Fisher

Wendell Berry
“I come into the peace of wild things
who do not tax their lives with forethought
of grief. I come into the presence of still water.
And I feel above me the day-blind stars
waiting with their light. For a time
I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.”
Wendell Berry, The Selected Poems of Wendell Berry

Carrie Fisher
“If my life wasn't funny it would just be true, and that is unacceptable.

What that really means, other than what it sounds like, is, let's say something happens and from a certain slant maybe it's tragic, even a little bit shocking. Then time passes and you go to the funny slant, and now that very same thing can no longer do you any harm.”
Carrie Fisher, Wishful Drinking
